Ingredients

2 garlic cloves
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
6 (6 to 8-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 lemon wedges

Directions

In a mini food processor, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, wine, oil, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard. Grind the mustard sauce until combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard to the sauce and stir to combine. Set aside mustard sauce.

Preheat the broiler. Line a heavy rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick spray. Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Broil for 2 minutes. Spoon the mustard sauce over the fillets. Continue broiling until the fillets are just cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.

Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Recommended Wine: 2001 Pecchenino

Origin: Alba, Piedmont

Grape: Dolcetto

Wine notes: Using white wine for fish and red wine for meat no longer

applies. Break with tradition. Italy produces many interesting reds, so

for this dish I chose a classic Italian wine made from the dolcetto grape.

This lighter bodied red will marry well with my salmon dish which has a rich and silky texture. The delicacy of the herbs in my mustard glaze goes

nicely with the fruity nature of the wine. My rule for pairing wine with

dishes is to go with what tastes good.

Wine Pouring Notes: Do not fill above the curve of the bowl, never more

than 1/2 full, that way you can get a true sense of the wine's aroma and a

better sense of its bouquet. To get the full experience of the wine, place

your nose into the glass and take in the wine's beautiful aroma.

A tried and true staple
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe numerous times and always with the same amazing results. The salmon stays so moist and the flavor is... just outstanding. My husband loves this! It's gotten to the point where I pretty much use whatever mustards and herbs I have on hand and it always turns out great. I'm not sure what some of these other reviewers are complaining about...Read more

Tasty!

I adjusted the sauce by adding lemon juice and I used dijonaise mustard instead of plain dijon, and it was excellent! It... really helped my non-fish loving husband eat salmon!Read more

Yuck

I didn't love the glaze. The outside of the Salmon burned and the inside was raw. I would not make again!

Easiest and best Salmon recipe!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this the other night and me and my two year old LOVED IT! (she kept calling it cheese). The fish cooked perfectly... (although I may have left it in an extra min.) I only had fresh rosemary so I doubled and left out the other herb...I will make this often! It was cool seeing my cheese-and-cracker-only child eating fish!Read more
